Len, I must apologize for having been so sarcastic with you in my last
postings. I thought you were really wicked, and now I understand that
you just live in an imaginary world. Reality is different. Seen by the
Chinese students or the Central American peasants, the US don't look
at all like this ideal John Wayne, but like the bad guy John fighted
in his movies. And the US are un-American.
